QUT Motorsport Formula SAE Shakedown Dec. 2009

Asha, are you the designated driver for the QUT car?

If so, im very interested to know what sort of driving experience is required for selection, and in particular, what sort of experience you had before you got selected?

Jake.

@JakeKNp Hey mate, I'm one of a few drivers taking the reigns, along with a couple of other experienced drivers. My experience helped alot; I raced karts nationally before taking on the Production Sports Cars in a Mazda MX5, so 10 years of experience certainly helped! Along with that, bringing something else to the table to help the team in their preparation is paramount - I'm also the media and communications co-ordinator. Bringing something to help while the car is being built is recommended!

Seems like a huge steering wheel.

@Weberseon - it was a bit bigger than many other teams, but a touch bigger provides a bit more leverage! :)
